With 5 nameservers each returning 10 A +records, `contains()` is called 40+ times scanning a list growing from 1 to 10 elements — +O(40) vs O(10) for a set. With CNAME chains and search domain retries that accumulate +records from multiple passes, the list can reach 20-50 entries, making O(R²) more visible. + +The `DnsAddressResolveContext` subclass sets `isDuplicateAllowed()` to `false`, meaning +this dedup path is always executed for address resolution. + +## Defect Code + +```java +// resolver-dns/src/main/java/io/netty/resolver/dns/DnsResolveContext.java lines ~906-916 +if (finalResult == null) { + finalResult = new ArrayList(8); + finalResult.add(converted); +} else if (isDuplicateAllowed() || !finalResult.contains(converted)) { // O(N) scan + finalResult.add(converted); +} else { + shouldRelease = true; +} +``` + +## Fix + +Replace `ArrayList` with `LinkedHashSet` for dedup tracking, then convert to list at +`finishResolve()` when results are returned.
